NGC 3572 Southern Tadpoles in Narrowband HOS Foraxx

Revisiting this target as it is kind of a milestone target for me as it won me my first NASA APOD back in May 2022. I will never forget how I felt that day. Hopefully, with better equipment and processing skills, I can improve on that version even just a little bit.

NGC 3572, also known as the Southern Tadpoles, is a fascinating celestial sight that combines a young open star cluster with dramatic dust clouds. Located in the southern hemisphere's Carina constellation, NGC 3572 is a haven for star birth. The star cluster itself is just a few million years old, mere infants in astronomical terms. But it's the surrounding nebula that truly steals the show. Here, vast clouds of gas and dust intertwine, with the most notable feature being the two large, dark pillars nicknamed the Southern Tadpoles. These tadpole-shaped structures stretch for several light-years each and are prime examples of stellar nurseries. Within these dense regions, gravity pulls the dust and gas together, igniting the formation of new stars.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
